SynthesisMethodEnum

The method by which raw character data will be converted to a text flow.

Remarks

The 'Synthesis Method' determines whether Grooper will reprocess the output of the OCR Engine to improve the logical structure and flow of recognized text.

• When enabled, Grooper analyzes the spatial arrangement of recognized characters and lines, reconstructing text into more natural reading order and grouping.
• Synthesis can resolve issues such as fragmented lines, misaligned columns, or irregular spacing that are common in OCR output, especially from complex or tabular documents.

Usage

• Enable synthesis for documents where accurate text flow and structure are important, such as forms, tables, or multi-column layouts.
• Disabling synthesis may be appropriate when the OCR Engine already produces well-structured output, or when exact preservation of the engine's results is required.

Best Practices

• Test both settings on your document samples to determine which produces the most accurate and usable results.
• Synthesis is often recommended for documents with complex layouts or inconsistent text alignment.

Can be one of the following values:

Name	Value		Description
Disabled	0	►	Grooper will perform no synthesis. The text flow will reflect exactly what was generated by the OCR Engine. Use this option when you want to preserve the original output of the OCR Engine without any additional processing. Suitable for simple documents or when the OCR Engine already produces high-quality, well-structured text. May result in fragmented or misaligned text for complex layouts.
Enabled	1		Grooper will re-synthesize results received from the OCR Engine to improve text flow and structure.
